Damian Lillard needs a superstar running mate.
Things aren't going so great in Brooklyn. So Lillard's taking his shot.
The Trail Blazers sharp shooter make a not-so-subtle pitch on an Instagram story Saturday for Kevin Durant to come to Portland. Unless he possesses Photoshop skills on top of his basketball and hip-hop talents, it appears that he got some help.
Lillard posted that image of himself standing alongside Durant in a Trail Blazers uniform sometime Saturday afternoon. By Saturday evening, it was gone. But he left it up long enough for social media users to take some screen grabs, his teammate Jusuf Nurkic among them.
